Ivan Godinez Reyes received approval on Christmas Eve to stay in the United States under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The 25-year-old Tulsa resident, who has a high school diploma and an associate degree, had been living in Tulsa as an undocumented immigrant since age 14 when he crossed the Mexican border illegally.
He is cautiously optimistic that the bipartisan immigration reforms proposed Monday will be passed.
